It meant that the Tooth Fairy was going to come and that your permanent teeth could come in. Now, when you lose an adult tooth or two, it\u2019s much less charming. The holes in your smile don\u2019t look as cute as when you were a kid. But did you know that even missing a single tooth can have a significant impact on you besides your looks? It\u2019s important to seriously consider tooth replacement to ensure that your oral and overall health can stay strong.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Effects of Tooth Loss<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re missing one or more adult teeth and choose not to restore them, there are several things that can happen as a result, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Loss in jaw bone density<\/strong>. When a tooth is removed, the jaw bone is no longer stimulated. Over time, it can cause the face to appear more sunken and aged.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A shift in your bite<\/strong>. Your remaining teeth can shift in order to compensate for the gap of a missing tooth, changing the way your teeth align.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bite or jaw misalignment<\/strong>. When your teeth shift, your entire bite can change, which can cause bigger problems, such as headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, or additional tooth loss.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Difficulty eating<\/strong>. We use our front teeth to break off bites of food and our molars to chew and grind our food. If you\u2019re missing one or more teeth, you have to adjust how you eat. Otherwise, you could experience indigestion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Difficulty speaking<\/strong>. Our teeth play an important role in speech. Missing teeth can make pronunciation more challenging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Options for Tooth Replacement<\/h2>\n<p>The good news is that there are plenty of tooth restoration options that can help reduce or prevent the effects of missing a tooth. For example, dentures\u2014whether partial or full\u2014enable you to maintain your bite alignment. Dental bridges are more secure than dentures, using surrounding teeth as anchors for the prosthetic crown.<\/p>\n<p>Out of all the options, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinerundental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> most closely mimic real tooth structure and therefore address all the effects of tooth loss. Consisting of a titanium screw that is surgically placed in the tooth\u2019s socket, dental implants stimulate and bond to the jaw bone, providing maximum strength and support. They also do not depend on the surrounding teeth, which helps preserve your other natural, healthy teeth for as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Losing a tooth doesn\u2019t mean that you must have a gap in your smile. In fact, it\u2019s better for your oral and overall health if you choose to replace it. Although dental implants provide the most long-term benefits, you can pick the restoration option that works for you and your situation. Schedule an appointment with your dentist to discuss your tooth replacement options so that you can restore your smile\u2019s function, strength, and health for years to come.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinerundental.com\/meet-dr-henkel.html\">Dr. Gary Henkel<\/a> has been practicing dentistry in the Philadelphia, Horsham, and surrounding communities since 1981.
